Pros

Decent pay and great benefits. Most of the employees are good people who really want to help grow your career.

Cons

The company kind of uses false advertising. During the interview process you see the downtown office, get to visit the good clients, and upper management talks about how Pariveda only does the cool and interesting work. The company prides itself on being super transparent with a unique feedback and promotion system. All of this is great, but far from the truth. They show you how awesome it is downtown -- week guess what, only upper management and corporate services actually work there. They get free food, drinks, coffee, beer, etc. while you are billable at the client sitting in a 5x7 foot closet with 7 other people. You don't hear about the bad clients, where 60-hour work weeks are all too familiar. All for usually crappy work; however, management will try to convince you that the work is super interesting and sugar coat the whole thing instead of being transparent and real. And you want to know what no one will tell you this? Because if they do, it'll somehow show up in their review as a Career Development Plan (CDP) item and prevent then from being promoted. That's what honesty will get you.

Pros

Compensation is okay. Some bright people.

Cons

Lot of arrogance and egos. Undertones of religion is annoying. Disconnect in cultures and values between offices. Can be stressful and bit of a sweatshop at times. Not much diversity of people, thought, or imagination in general. Little too much molding of Pariveda army of clonebots.

Pros

Large pay increases can come quickly if you are a brand new developer. The work is interesting. Lots of great people. Great benefits. Culture of self improvement.

Cons

Woke culture is being pushed on employees by upper management. The evaluation matrix for determining an employee’s promotion/level is extremely ambiguous and open to interpretation so even if you excel in an area or do a job better than someone making 50% more than you there is always a reason to tell you that you are being paid fairly or in other words, put you in your place. A fair number of upper management are out of touch with lower level employees. I recall being in an unpaid meeting where a Vice President gave a pointless presentation about a retreat that the VPs had and how much fun it was. After the meeting I reached out to a coworker and asked if they got anything out of the meeting and they said they felt it was pointless as well. I’d like to reiterate it was an unpaid meeting we were expected to attend. No offense to the good people who work here but this company will never retain top talent because the best talent will feel hindered/frustrated by the promotion process.
